[Q] AcDisplay issue and alternatives - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I use a stock SM-G900F and I'm looking for an app that emulates Motorola Active Display.
I tried AcDisplay and DynamicNotifications, but due to TouchWiz incompatibilities (or it seems so), both apps didn't work without some little (but annoying) bugs.
I'd like to know if someone is successfully using a similar app without problems.
Thanks!

[Q] CM11 - No keyboard / camera

Hi,
I hope this wasn't asked before, but I couldn't find anything.
I am currently using CM11 (latest build) with minimal gapps installed and face two problems:
A few months ago, when it was released in the play store, I decided to install the Google keyboard. This app somehow replaced the AOSP keyboard on my phone. I wasn't to impressed with it and decided to uninstall it, leaving me without any keyboard at all! This hasn't changed since, no matter how often I upgraded the CM11 and gapps build. It's no big deal for me, because I use another keyboard app, but I find this behavior rather strange.
I seem to have a similar problem with the camera app. When the Google camera app was released recently, I tried installing it - this time it didn't work, it told me that the app was already installed. After that I found out that I suddenly had no camera on my phone at all! How is this possible?
Can someone tell me where these apps have gone and how to recover them?
Thanks in advance.

Stock Messaging App Crashes

I recently bought a Galaxy S4 I9505 to replace my S3 that is near destroyed.
So everything goes well until much recently when I updated it to the latest firmware i can get 4.4.2 I9505XXUGNJ5
The Messaging app crashes when I open the settings to edit some stuff.
It did not happen with the previous firmware and I dont know why.
I tried a couple solutions like clear data and cahce but no results.
Anyone please kindly help me by giving some solutions.
Better yet you guys can give me the apk file for the stock messaging app from the system dump that does not crash when opening the settings.
Thanks.
Or you can use a different messaging app.
I use hello at the moment. It's very simple and clean. Not much customization.
Or, another favorite of mine, YAATA. It's currently still in beta. But it works with no problems and has lots of customization. Also offers chatheads options (like facebook messenger)

[Q] Lollipop 5.0 aggressive background app quitting

I'm on 5.0 with Xposed and the ColorFade Memory Leak fix. However, it seems that Lollipop is still force closing background apps too quickly. I play Hearthstone a lot, and I used to background it to go on chrome or respond to a text message or something in Kitkat 4.4 with no issues. Now on 5.0, it will close very quickly. I even hit home sometimes and went right back into the app without doing anything else, and saw that it had closed instantly. Is there any fix for this, or do I just have to wait?
I also noticed that when I was using Google maps and Spotify, then opened Waze, the first two would force close as well. This wasn't an issue on KK 4.0 either.
have the same issues on the stock firmware
I'm on tmo and I have the same problem. it's with stock and AOSP. I can't run pocket cast and anything else for fear of pocketcast (or google music for that matter) closing. I wonder if there is a way to increase it's priority so lollipop won't close it.

I heard that TouchWiz by Samsung wasn't supposed to have this issue even though all other flavors did, but considering I'm having it, it's not the case.
There's a thing in the Xposed module, App settings, called resident which allows an application to be forced/higher priority in memory, but I find it either doesn't work because lollipop's force close background apps is too strong, or it only makes the background apps stay a tiny bit longer.
Update: I found out today that my issue was disabling Touchwiz's DVFS in the Wanam Xposed module. Re-enabling it fixed all my issues it seems.

Wow, is that what's been happening? I've been having this same problem on my T-mo Note 4 N910T (Lollipop 5.0.1) with apps aggressively being killed. I've been pulling my hair out because I had no idea why. After seeing your post and disabling the DVFS killer I no longer have this issue. Overlooked it because it just wasn't in my list of things that would be causing it. Thank you!

Ok google issue?

Hi,
I have recently installed Kybui Rom running 5.1.1 lollipop on my note 4 N10F variant. Everything works great except google now. There isn't any options for ok google anywhere only ok google in app. Its not like they're greyed out either they're completely missing from the app completely. I've tried disabling S-voice, downgrading the google app but nothing gets it working at all.
I seem to be the only person having this issue which is even more frustrating though have read about it happening on S6 devices but can't seem to find a solution. Does anyone know how I can get this back? I know I can use nova launcher and there's open mic+ to do it but nova only works on homescreen and open mic is dodgy when veiwing videos last time I used that app so just want it working natively again.

Is the Amazon App incompatible with the v20?

Ever since I bought this phone new in 2018 I've been extremely disappointed with it's performance. Lately I've been experiencing some extreme graphical glitching and lagging using the Amazon app. I just decided to freeze the amazon app. I recently did the thermal paste mod and noticed some slight Improvement. However after freezing Amazon I feel like I have a brand new phone. Has anyone else experienced problems with the Amazon app on the LG v20. I'm from the USA.
I'm attaching some screenshots. The App basically just flickers between various pictures. Or worse stays on the first picture. I edited\blurred my name and address.
I've used the Amazon shopping app in the US on my US996USC rooted with dirty santa and supersu since sometime in 2017 without issue. My wife has a VS995 (Verizon) rooted via dirty santa and magisk and has the Amazon app working without complaint (if an issue was there I'm sure I would hear all about it). What version of the V20 do you have?
Maybe some of the stock software on your version of V20 is conflicting with the Amazon app. Do you get the same slowdown / flicker if accessing Amazon via Chrome,Firefox, etc? Or maybe just force shutdown the Amazon app when not using it to obtian the performance benefits.
Also I deleted Facebook and a number of other stock applications I do not use (easy when rooted, somewhat harder without). Also I use greenify (works on unrooted phones) to cause most apps to sleep when I am not using them. Maybe one or the other might also help.
No problems on my side, either. OP, I noticed that you are using the Second Screen Status Bar mod and are hiding the regular status bar. Do you think the Amazon app may be clashing with that somehow?

Did you find out the cause for this? I have the same problem with the Amazon app but sometimes it happens elsewhere too. I don't have a v20 but running stock Oreo (8.0} on my axon 7.
The furthest I've gotten to fix it temporally is by choosing my address in Amazon and changing it back again. It seems like it's something to do with the address pop up message that causes the problem for me.

There is a bug in the latest version of chrome and web view that makes the screen flicker on some apps. To fix this you need to disable chrome and enable chrome and check do not auto update in the play store.
There is another fix you have to install the updated graphics driver. This driver is for oreo only lgv20, after you flash in twrp you must wipe dalvik cache. You must have root to be able to install the updated GPU drivers.
